I've always been intrigued by the relational dynamics of this situation. My nature is to wonder and try to understand but in this section of scripture I am content to trust God and wait for answers. There are many levels to this that can teach us about our humanity and disciplines which help open our eyes to godliness and truth. I've always admired Michael Card, his song of Christ's birth from Joseph's perspective never fails to move me deeply. Lyrics Below: How could it be, This baby in my arms Sleeping now so peacefully The Son of God the angel said How could it be? Lord, I know he's not my own Not of my flesh, not of my bone Still Father let this baby be, The son of my love Father show me where I fit into this plan of yours How can a man be father to the Son of God? Lord, for all my life I've been a simple carpenter How can I raise a king? How can I raise a king? He looks so small, His face and hands so fair And when he cries the sun just seems to disappear But when he laughs, It shines again How could it be? Father show me where I fit into this plan of yours How can a man be father to the Son of God? Lord, for all my life I've been a simple carpenter How can I raise a king? How can I raise a king? How could it be, This baby in my arms Sleeping now so peacefully The Son of God the angel said How could it be? How could it be? Thanks PT for this reminder!

How could it be, This baby in my arms

Sleeping now so peacefully

The Son of God the angel said

How could it be?

Lord, I know he’s not my own

Not of my flesh, not of my bone

Still Father let this baby be, The son of my love

Father show me where I fit into this plan of yours

How can a man be father to the Son of God?

Lord, for all my life I’ve been a simple carpenter

How can I raise a king? How can I raise a king?

He looks so small, His face and hands so fair

And when he cries the sun just seems to disappear

But when he laughs, It shines again
